Nubar Jewel
This is a way, way overdue post, seeing as it feels that the Nubar Prisms collection was first around a couple of months ago. It also feels like forever since I reviewed a Nubar polish, so sorry about that, Nubar fans! Jewel is certainly one of the best ones that I tried from this collection.…

Nubar Gilded Gold meets Swiss Chocolate
A while back (yeah, in October…) we took a look at Nubar’s Gilded Gold and wondered what it would be like as a layering polish. The short answer is that I think it layers well. Here we have it over another Nubar polish, Swiss Chocolate as I thought that the gold would look spectacular over the…

A bit of fun
A few weekends ago I went to stay with a friend who was having a baby shower, and all my other friends from university were there. As well as blogging about nail varnish, I am always nagging my friends to let me give them manicures – perhaps another way of justifying my over-large stash. Plus…

Nude Polish Comparisons
I was asked a while back to put this post together, and today was the first time in a long time that I actually had a free afternoon in which to attack it. So here you are. Some nudes, some taupes, some sheers. Each polish is three to four coats. No commentary, but if you…

Nubar Sky Sparkles
Sky Sparkles is another of the Sparkles polishes that I was sent to try out. In the bottle, Sky Sparkles has a serious amount of promise. It is a really vibrant and eyecatching mid-blue. However, I had major difficulties with the application of this polish. Unlike Petunia Sparkles, which behaved as though it was wearing…

Nubar Paradise
Here’s a bit of a departure for me. I can’t remember the last time I wore such a “pretty” nail varnish. And Nubar’s Paradise certainly qualifies as that. This is not one for someone who likes bold blocks of colour as it is far more subtle than that. It’s also really sheer. I ended up…

Nubar Petunia Sparkles
OK. Prepare yourself for the BEST glitter polish I have ever seen. And the WORST photos. Even glitter haters must be able to appreciate the true wonder of this nail varnish. I was a bit disillusioned with glitter polish, especially after wearing so many of them over the Christmas period, but Petunia Sparkles has regenerated my love…

Nubar Spark
Spark is another of the Nubar Prisms collection that I was sent to try out. You may recall from my review of Gem that I was concerned that these polishes weren’t true holos, more jelly varnishes with holo glitter. Well, Spark is slightly different, in that it has more of that overall spectacular holo effect. It’s…

Nubar Lemon Sorbet
Apparently it looks like I’ve dipped my fingers in custard. Well I know some of you are sick of pastels but I love this and yellow is my favourite pastel shade. I had wanted a car in this colour but came to my senses and went for black. I think trying to sell a pastel…
